be found on his clothes whereby he
could be identified. The train

THE CHICAGO ELECTION.

Although the Republicans will reap the
immediate benefits of the election in Chi
cago by getting control of the city govern
ment. it is in no sense Republican victory.
1t was the Republican candidate elected by
the votes of Democrats who were forced to
make choice between two evils and pre-
ferred the lesser While we may regret
that it had to be so. We may rejoice at the
result. RoCHE's overwhelming majority
means the complete overthrow of socialism
in city where its power was dreaded. 1t
means even more than that. 1t teaches the
anarchists that whenever and wherever they
raise the red flag all conservative American
citizens will readily drop party name and.
forgetting their partisan prejudices stand
united in opposition to the lawleSs hurdes
who seek the destruction of everything that
is worth preserving. The most lamentable
feature of the Chicago municipal election is
that the Labor party should have permitted
Itself to BIZ stigmatZed by the Endorsement
of the socialists. 1t is however, gratifying
to know that thousands of honest working
men resented the infamy by breaking away
from the party ranks and voting for the
candidate who stood as the representative
of law and order. Under other circum-
stances RocHE's election would have been
an inflction. AS it is the news of his vic
tory falls on our ears like benediction.
